Background: Leisure-time physical activity plays a significant role in the physical and mental health of adolescents. However, the majority of adolescents do not participate in such activities sufficiently. To better understand the factors influencing this behavior, the Theory of Planned Behavior is employed as a valid and reliable framework.
Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the factors of leisure physical activity in adolescents based on the theory of planned behavior based on the Q method.
Methods: Q's methodology is essentially qualitative, although more precisely it is quantitatively qualitative. The qualitative nature of this method is due to the fact that it does not require a specific sample size, which is a prerequisite for reliable quantitative analysis, and the quantitative part of it is done using factor analysis. Materials In the following, the background of the research was reviewed first, and then based on the documents and a component of the theory of planned behavior, 48 phrases were selected as the space of discourse. Based on the documents and the comments of several professors of the sports management department, it can be said that the Q expressions obtained are capable and comprehensive. Therefore, it has an accepted and confirmed validity. Q-sorting was piloted with five participants before being implemented on a larger group of participants for content validity and face validity. The approved sample number was 48 adolescents who do physical activity in their leisure time. They were asked to categorize the cue statements on the set axes of agreeing, opposing and abstaining in the form of a five-option spectrum from 5 + to 5 -. Then, the data were analyzed using KADE software and categorized in the form of exploratory factor analysis of different mental patterns.
Results: After performing factor analysis, four mental patterns were identified. The factors obtained based on ranking and importance were: the first factor Volitions’ the second factor; behavioral consequentialists, the third factor; reference’s and the fourth factor; It is goal oriented.
Conclusion: The results of this study confirm the willpower and the importance of having a goal and the support of the reference group, especially parents, to increase the leisure time physical activity of adolescents.
